New 11g notebooks, do I replace old Cisco 11b points?

I work for several schools and in one school I have been given funding to replace our aging notebook suite. The old set up consists of 10 notebooks that use Cisco 350 series 11b wifi cards and two Cisco 350 series access points. The new notebooks have onboard wireless 11g cards and are backwards compatible with 11b. Should I replace the old but very good cisco AP's with faster more moder devices or should the old AP's perform ok with the new notebooks. Staff notebooks (8 in total) also use the points for wireless access. The netgear rangemax series of AP's seem very good. Would we get better bandwidth and performance from these over the Cisco 350s?
